Jakub Narebski bfe2191f79 gitweb: SHA-1 in commit log message links to "object" view
Instead of checking if explicit SHA-1 in commit log message is sha1 of
commit and making link to "commit" view, make [fragment of] explicit
SHA-1 in commit log message link to "object" view.  While at it allow
to hyperlink also shortened SHA-1, from 8 characters up to full SHA-1,
instead of requiring full 40 characters of SHA-1.

This makes the following changes:

 * SHA-1 of objects which no longer exists, for example in commit
   cherry-picked from no longer existing temporary branch, or revert
   of commit in rebased branch, are no longer marked as such by not
   being made into hyperlink (and not having default hyperlink view:
   being underlined among others).  On the other hand it makes gitweb
   to not write error messages when object is not found to web serwer
   log; it also moves cost of getting type and SHA-1 validation to
   when link is clicked, and not only viewed.

 * SHA-1 of other objects: blobs, trees, tags are also hyperlinked
   and lead to appropriate view (although in the case of tags it is
   more natural to just use tag name).

 * You can put shortened SHA-1 of commit in the commit message, and it
   would be hyperlinked; it would be checked on clicking if abbrev is
   unique.

Jakub Narebski 3bf9d57051 gitweb: Hyperlink target of symbolic link in "tree" view (if possible)
Make symbolic link target in "tree" view into hyperlink to generic
"object" view (as we don't know if the link target is file (blob) or
directory (tree), and if it exist at all).

Target of link is made into hyperlink when:
 * hash_base is provided (otherwise we cannot find hash
   of link target)
 * link is relative
 * in no place link goes out of root tree (top dir)

Full path of symlink target from the root dir is provided in the title
attribute of hyperlink.

Currently symbolic link name uses ordinary file style (hidden
hyperlink), while the hyperlink to symlink target uses default
hyperlink style, so it is underlined while link target which is not
made into hyperlink is not underlined.

Jakub Narebski ca94601c8f gitweb: Add generic git_object subroutine to display object of any type
Add generic "object" view implemented in git_object subroutine, which is
used to display object of any type; to be more exact it redirects to the
view of correct type: "blob", "tree", "commit" or "tag".  To identify object
you have to provide either hash (identifier of an object), or (in the case of
tree and blob objects) hash of commit object (hash_base) and path (file_name).

Robin Rosenberg e86ad71fe5 Make cvsexportcommit work with filenames with spaces and non-ascii characters.
This patch uses git-apply to do the patching which simplifies the code a lot
and also uses one pass to git-diff. git-apply gives information on added,
removed files as well as which files are binary.

Removed the test for checking for matching binary files when deleting them
since git-apply happily deletes the file. This is matter of taste since we
allow some fuzz for text patches also.

Error handling was cleaned up, but not much tested.

2006-12-11 14:12:12 -08:00
Shawn O. Pearce 9abd46a347 Make sure the empty tree exists when needed in merge-recursive.
There are some baseless merge cases where git-merge-recursive will
try to compare one of the branches against the empty tree.  However
most projects won't have the empty tree object in their object database
as Git does not normally create empty tree objects.  If the empty tree
object is missing then the merge process will die, as it cannot load the
object from the database.  The error message may make the user think that
their database is corrupt when its actually not.

So instead we should just create the empty tree object whenever it is
needed.  If the object already exists as a loose object then no harm
done.  Otherwise that loose object will be pruned away later by either
git-prune or git-prune-packed.

Thanks goes to Junio for suggesting this fix.

Junio C Hamano 158d057789 git-commit: allow --only to lose what was staged earlier.
The command used to have a safety valve to prevent this sequence:

	edit foo
	git update-index foo
	edit foo
	git diff foo
	git commit --only foo

The reason for this was because an inexperienced user might
mistakenly think what is shown with the last-minute diff
contains all the change that is being committed (instead, what
the user asked to check was an incremental diff since what has
been staged so far).  However, this turns out to only annoy
people who know what they are doing.  Inexperienced people
would not be using the first "update-index" anyway, in which
case they would see the full changes in the "git diff".

Nicolas Pitre 46732fae3d change the unpack limit treshold to a saner value
Currently the treshold is 5000.  The likelihood of this value to ever be
crossed for a single push is really small making it not really useful.

The optimal treshold for a pure space saving on a filesystem with 4kb
blocks is 3.  However this is likely to create many small packs
concentrating a large number of files in a single directory compared to
the same objects which are spread over 256 directories when loose.  This
means we would need 512 objects per pack on average to approximagte the
same directory cost (a pack has 2 files because of the index).

But 512 is a really high value just like 5000 since most pushes are
unlikely to have that many objects.  So let's try with a value of 100
which should have a good balance between small pushes going to be
exploded into loose objects and large pushes kept as whole packs.

This is not a replacement for periodic repacks of course.

Andy Parkins 955289bf92 Explicitly add the default "git pull" behaviour to .git/config on clone
Without any specification in the .git/config file, git-pull will execute
"git-pull origin"; which in turn defaults to pull from the first "pull"
definition for the remote, "origin".

This is a difficult set of defaults to track for a new user, and it's
difficult to see what tells git to do this (especially when it is
actually hard-coded behaviour).  To ameliorate this slightly, this patch
explicitly specifies the default behaviour during a clone using the
"branch" section of the config.

For example, a clone of a typical repository would create a .git/config
containing:
  [remote "origin"]
  url = proto://host/repo.git
  fetch = refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
  [branch "master"]
  remote = origin
  merge = refs/heads/master

The [branch "master"] section is such that there is no change to the
functionality of git-pull, but that functionality is now explicitly
documented.

Junio C Hamano f8a9d42872 read-tree: further loosen "working file will be lost" check.
This follows up commit ed93b449 where we removed overcautious
"working file will be lost" check.

A new option "--exclude-per-directory=.gitignore" can be used to
tell the "git-read-tree" command that the user does not mind
losing contents in untracked files in the working tree, if they
need to be overwritten by a merge (either a two-way "switch
branches" merge, or a three-way merge).

Johannes Schindelin 98e6da8a36 xdl_merge(): fix and simplify conflict handling
Suppose you have changes in new1 to the original lines 10-20,
and changes in new2 to the original lines 15-25, then the
changes to 10-25 conflict. But it is possible that the next
changes in new1 still overlap with this change to new2.

So, in the next iteration we have to look at the same change
to new2 again.

The old code tried to be a bit too clever. The new code is
shorter and more to the point: do not fiddle with the ranges
at all.

Also, xdl_append_merge() tries harder to combine conflicts.
This is necessary, because with the above simplification,
some conflicts would not be recognized as conflicts otherwise:

In the above scenario, it is possible that there is no other
change to new1. Absent the combine logic, the change in new2
would be recorded _again_, but as a non-conflict.

Nicolas Pitre 366bfcb68f make 'git add' a first class user friendly interface to the index
This brings the power of the index up front using a proper mental model
without talking about the index at all. See for example how all the
technical discussion has been evacuated from the git-add man page.

   Any content to be committed must be added together.  Whether that
   content comes from new files or modified files doesn't matter.  You
   just need to "add" it, either with git-add, or by providing
   git-commit with -a (for already known files only of course).

No need for a separate command to distinguish new vs modified files
please. That would only screw the mental model everybody should have
when using GIT.
